Diagnostic Difficulties

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, which progresses by relapses-remissions, of a multifactorial etiology which involves genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Skin lesions are mainly localized in areas of friction: elbows, knees, pre-tibial, lumbosacral regions, scalp, and nails. Although the appearance of the skin lesions is sufficient for a diagnosis, diagnostic difficulties may be found in case of unusual topography. We report a case of a 45-year-old female patient with psoriatic cheilitis with a review of the literature.

Histopathologic Findings

Background: Angioma serpiginosum is a vascular anomaly that classically presents in childhood and predominantly affects females. Objective: To present a case of a young woman with linear distribution of angioma serpiginosum and review the common clinical characteristics and presentation of this condition. Methods: Case report with skin biopsies and dermoscopic findings. Results: A clinical examination revealed numerous irregular punctate red macules in a linear distribution over the right arm. On dermoscopy, the lesions appeared as multiple sharply demarcated red lagoons. The histopathologic findings of dilated blood vessels in the papillary dermis with absence of other changes confirmed the diagnosis of angioma serpiginosum. Conclusion: Angioma serpiginosum is a rare entity that can be distinguished by clinical and histopathologic examinations. Lack of recognition of this condition may lead to unnecessary investigations and delayed treatment.

Histopathologic Findings

In this case report, a rare case of Pemphigoid Gestationis at 33 weeks’ of gestation is presented and the related literature is briefly reviewed. A 21-year-old at 33 weeks’ of gestation admitted with the complain of itchy skin lesions on the abdomen, arms and legs. Dermatologic examination revealed urticaria papules and plaques in the abdomen, arms and legs, more intensely around the umbilicus, which range from 1-2 cm diameter to 4-5 cm diameter. Papulovesicular lesions and few erosions were observed especially in the hand and foot dorsals. Spongiosis on epidermis, intracellular and subepidermal bullae formation, edema on papillary architecture and inflammatory infiltrate composed of mononuclear cells and eosinophils around the perivascular ares of the upper dermis were seen in histological examination. Direct immunofluorescence of perilesional skin showed linear deposition of complement (C3) along the basement membrane zone. The preliminary diagnosis of pemphigoid gestationis was confirmed by histopathologic findings. Pemphigoid gestationis is a rare autoimmune bullous dermatosis that begins in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. Healing occurs weeks after birth. It occurs more severely in subsequent pregnancies. Its main treatment is systemic steroid and antihistamine administration. A multidisciplinary approach both in dermatological and gynecological terms is required for the diagnosis, treatment and course of the disease.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei is a rare sporadic condition of unknown etiology characterized by reddish-brownish patches and follicular papules that appear commonly on the face and rarely on the neck. Herein, we report a 16-year-old male who had asymptomatic facial skin lesions since early childhood. His family history revealed a similar case in his younger brother. His parents are not consanguineous. Skin examination revealed diffuse nonscaly brownish patches with erythematous background and multiple skin-colored, hypopigmented follicular papules on both cheeks. A summary of previous reports of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei in the literature is presented in this report.
